In theory, sure. That doesn't mean it's defensible to not use it.
There is a theory solution here, you can use the XDG Desktop Protal spec https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.Secret which supplies org.freedesktop.portal.Secrets and have containerized secret handling too. However, you'd still have to patch Chrome and it still sends the wrong signal to users that Snap refuses to use the systems keyring by default and so you're all vulnerable until the applications adopts the theoretical best practice available.
